Tesla Will Stop Battery Production for the Toyota Rav4 EV

There’s no sense competing against yourself, and Tesla realizes this. The burgeoning EV company supplies motors and batteries to Toyota for use in their California-only Rav4 EV, but the deal seems to be on the ropes.

At the end of a corporate report from Tesla, the company hinted that both companies would end their all-electric drivetrain partnership as the current Rav4 EV model phases out at the end of the year.

It’s no secret that Tesla hopes to rollout the Model X soon, a car that would be in direct competition with Toyota’s electric crossover. This comes shortly after Toyota announced new lease incentives to push slow sales of the all-electric EV.
